Alongside the essay, the book offers a sequence of microfictions and creative writing prompts corresponding to the Major Arcana of the beautiful accompanying artist’s deck. Emerging from \u003cem\u003eMirror\u003c\/em\u003e – an ongoing collaborative worldmaking act by Sammy Lee and Sarah Shin that spans game, ritual and performance – each card and its reading invites readers to step inside the landscapes of the tarot and discover stories of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Fool’s first step to the World’s completion, \u003cem\u003eMirror Tarot\u003c\/em\u003e turns the tarot into a creative companion for play, divination and storytelling.
